Highly Recommendable

Mariam A. Lavoie's was my Lawyer and there are not enough words I can say about her and her staff. They go Above and Beyond on making you feel comfortable and at ease . When it comes down to having to fill out so many papers and having a lot of questions about the process you are facing. They have no... problems with answering any and all the questions you have cause they know it is nerve wrecking process to deal with SSI. I Highly Recommend Them they treat you like if you are family. And Mariam makes sure she does everything in her power to win.

Incredible Lawyer in your corner

I had the privilege of working with attorney Lavoie. She was amazing to work with and made it so simple I had to do almost nothing she did everything for me. Through this process I realized that attorney Lavoie is a well seasoned veteran of the law and left no stone unturned when it came to my disabi...lity case. She was very easy to work with to communicate and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. She took her time it was very thorough and got me my disability on the first try. Her down to earth personality made me feel so very comfortable and welcomed. I would highly recommend attorney Lavoie she has the experience and they know how to help you obtain what you need to attain. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you attorney Lavoie for what you have done to help me.

Mariam Lavoie is knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient; in working with us on a complicated disability case.

Mariam Lavoie has compassion, understanding, and took time to listen, then request and assemble needed records related to a complex disability application. In addition to thee face to face meetings; it took patience, time and phone calls to Soc Sec to get needed clarifications, and prepare and subm...it this case for Soc Sec Disability (SSD), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). I highly recommend her.

Simply The Best!!

Let Me start by saying finding an Attorney is NOT Like it used to be and trying to find a Good Attorney can be a long arduous process especially when you are are suffering from illness or disibilty. I didnt know what to expect when I first met Mariam Lavoie at Lavoie Law but It changed My Life! I had... been with one of those TV attorneys who promise you soo much but never follow through, you never hear from them. They have people working your case that arent attorneys so they cant even answer your questions. I learned this all the hard way, and when I met Mariam Lavoie and in passing told her about my distress over the situation, she was compassionate and understanding. She didnt try to sell me on herself or her team, but offered to look into my case. It was so refreshing , Mariam and her team made me feel like family,but never sugar coated my case. She and her staff are personable, relatable and down to earth with common sense and impeccable work ethic. Mariam and Her team at Lavoie Law know the ends and outs of SSA,SSI,SSDI. They have the inside track on all the workings in and around the laws. I was so pleasantly surprised how Mariam and her team kept me in the loop Weekly with updates via email or calls. They made the whole experience easy and doable. They did back ground on Dr.s I was seeing and worked closely with them on my case. They kept my health and wealfare and privacy at the top of the list at all times. Im so happy to say that Mariam Lavoie ,Jane, Wyloski and the rest of the Team at Lavoie Law have been with me the whole way Even in the winners Circle And as of Late My Wife who also had her case with Lavoie Law has also Won her case Thanks to Mariam and the Lavoie Law Team!! Mariam and her Team understood our Plight our struggles and what our futures would be if we didnt have the help we needed and it would have been bleek, for my wife and I it was life or death!

Expert Law Office

I remember that cool November day in 2019 like it was yesterday. Mariam and her staff waited patiently as I struggled to get into the conference room where we would be having our initial consultation. The FIRST thing Mariam asked my wife and me was if I needed anything that would make me more comfort...able for our meeting. From that point on, I knew that Mariam was a different type of attorney. Every time I spoke to Mariam, she took the time to answer all of my questions and listened to each and every one of my concerns. She explained, in detail, every step she was taking to help me obtain the benefits we both knew I deserved. More importantly, she started every conversation asking about me and my family’s wellbeing. She never rushed into the business at hand. She checked on me after all of the surgeries I had and frequently asked me if there was anything else she could do to put my mind at ease. She and her staff returned all of my phone calls promptly and answered all of my emails the same day or within 24 hours. I NEVER felt like I was just a case number at Lavoie Law, LLC. Mariam and her staff impressed upon everyone they spoke to that their client was a person who was struggling physically, financially, and emotionally. Treating their client like a case number would not be tolerated. Mariam KNOWS THE LAW and understands how to navigate through the tedious process of a disability claim. She knows how to do it efficiently and focuses on every step with precise detail. She accepted my complicated injury case and fought for me relentlessly until she secured an approval for my disability claim. My family and I will be forever grateful to Mariam and her legal team. If you want an attorney who will treat you with respect and compassion, who will do everything in her power to secure the benefits you deserve, seek a consultation with Mariam at Lavoie Law, LLC. When you do, you will immediately know that Mariam will go the extra mile to help you receive the benefits you deserve.
